IFUSS Writing Workshops (Beginning Fall 2013)
In Fall 2013, IFUSS initiated a series of WRITING WORKSHOPS, held weekly throughout most of the academic year, in which two colleagues shared work-in-progress. In 2013-14, these were held on Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 5 p.m. in the conference room on the 3rd floor of the Armory Building, where IFUSS is currently located. Typically two colleagues would be chosen by the IFUSS Director based on their schedule and period of residency at IFUSS. About an hour is devoted to each person’s work-in-progress, and participants often include former IFUSS Fellows participating via Skype. Book ideas, conference papers, drafts of chapters or journal articles, research proposals, and drafts of scholarly talks have been discussed throughout 2013-14, and we plan to continue in 2014-15. Scholars participating must share something that has to do with the United States, and it must be in English since it is the only language we all have in common. The IFUSS Director typically asks a U.S.-based colleague and a non-U.S.-based colleague to share their work at each IFUSS Writing Workshop, thereby having “presenters” (sharers) as well as “audiences”/listeners/readers/discussants who are normally located in different countries and intellectual communities. Since IFUSS connects with colleagues in many disciplines around the world, these IFUSS Writing Workshops always include participants normally located in a range of scholarly disciplines. Finally, it has been our custom to have each “presenter”/”sharer” circulate some written work several days before their scheduled IFUSS Writing Workshop (with the work/draft sent to the IFUSS Director and staff member, who then circulates it electronically to all expected participants).
